Fat lip and all ...

-
So last night my son purposely head-butted me and busted both my top and bottom lip. I keep trying to teach him to be gentle when playing with girls and me... but I don't think he's catching on.

This morning, the cuts were barely noticeable. Relieved, I continued with my day. My little guy stayed home from school today. He's been on antibiotics, which make him crazy - with a capital C!

We were playing and he shoved up his arm and fist, pretending to knock someone out. Unfortunately for me, I turned my head toward him and into a little fist.

Now I have my first fat lip. I look like I had a collagen injection!

Well, I always wanted sexy full lips. Now I have one!

(I hope it goes down before tonight's book launch party)

So what you're saying is that he's a puppy? All rowdy and reaking havoc, but calm down eventually as they grow up a bit? Man! I was hoping I could blame the behavior and extreme extreme hyper-activity to the anti-biotics.

Kids don't always have the best timing do they? Hope it mellows before tonight!

Hey wornout woman, I'm checking out your scene from the MBC connection. Wow - a real author - right on! I love this head butt story. Sorry for you though : - (

I have a 17-month-old boy after having my two girls (6 and 4) and WOW - boys are different. I KNOW I will have some fat lips in my very near future and my man tells me to get prepared for some trips to the ER - this little dude gets into everything!

See ya' around..

Being the mom of boys, I feel your pain! I've had a few fat lips over the years - one recently from my youngest daughter. I was leaning down to give her a kiss on the head just as she reared up. Yep, new sexy lip!

Ugh, my son's the same way! He's figured out that swinging his big head towards my nose is the most effective way to block me from picking him up when he doesn't want me to or turning off the TV when it's time to well, stop watching TV.

I'm sure your fat lip has gone down by now....I'm just hoping mine does soon. My little guy (10 months) was sitting in my bed this morning. I was laying down looking up at his cute face, when he suddenly fell over on me. His forehead hit my mouth and slammed both my top & bottom lips right into my teeth. YIKES! OUCH! His little bruise is looking better, right next to all his other head injuries, but my lip?????? His new nickname is Head Wound Harry (from SNL), but my loving husband has yet to give me a nickname...

It's called a S-T-O-P sign for a reason people!

You guessed it. That's my poor little Passat up there smashed in. At 3:30 CST a 20-year-old kid, driving an O'rielly's Auto Parts truck, wasn't smart enough to read those red octagonal signs that instruct you to stop. Wait let me say that louder, STOP! Today I was hit by a kid who couldn't read or follow basic traffic law. I'm drained and I want to go to sleep. I'm sure it's all the adrenaline that's now left my system, which is leaving me feeling so tired. The thing that amazed me was how cavalier this kid was. He could have cared less than he hit me. He made it seem like it was my fault that he pulled out from a stop sign and ran into the side of my car. How stupid does he think the police officer was? There was no damage to the front of my car, so when he said, "She came out of nowhere!" it wasn't a likely story. Especially when it was clear he had run into my passenger door and scraped up the side of my car. My hu

Facing Redemption

-
The sequel to Finding Kylie is called Facing Redemption. I'm twelve chapters in and am so ready to finish. When writing Finding Kylie, I would dream of different scenes or character traits and wake up, knowing what direction I needed to head with my next chapter. So far with this book, I've not dreamt as much at night but can't stop daydreaming. I need to pull my head out of the clouds and focus on my own life a little more. Lately, it seems all I eat, drink, and sometimes sleep is this sequel. I think mostly because every time I turn around I've been getting emails, phone calls, and questions from readers of 'Finding Kylie' wanting to know 'when the next book will be out.' It's exciting to know they've fallen in love with my characters so much that they're chomping at the bit to have closure on some of the things I've left open-ended with the first book. It means I'm making a difference with my writing. I've impacted

Mother's Day Surprise

I got this for Mother's Day along with a big three-ring binder of photos and artwork that my son has compiled all through PRE-K. It was the most touching gift he's given to date, in his five years. Even though his PRE-K teacher orchestrated taking all the pics through the school year and organizing all his artwork, it was still all my son's favorite pieces and shots. I loved it. I love that he thinks I'm fourteen feet tall, which he says it's all leg by the way. He even drew me that way. I love that he remembers my age and my favorite color. I love that he still loves my kisses. I hope he never outgrows that, but I know he will. After giving it to me, he told me he loved my hair put up but thought it would be prettier with more ponytails. He ran and grabbed more colorful rubber bands and asked me to put them on in the places he pointed to. "I want a pink one ... there. I want the blue one ... there." He looked at me when I'd finished a
